Qt for Python

@qwasder85 I'm grateful for the solution you shared; it worked perfectly. Thank you!

@JonB Lol!! :-)) its an app for nursing homes

There is a restriction in Wayland in that the standard protocol that does allow positioning windows (see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-110119 ).

I had posted this on StackOverflow back in July as well, and I received an answer today. I'll just link to the answer, which I haven't tested because I am in the middle of a different project. There are a couple good comments as well, so a link would be more prudent, I believe. StackOverflow

@poppypelt12 It is common mistake to declare a local variable which is destroyed as soon as it goes out of scope. Just be careful when declaring variables and think about scope and life time of objects.

@jsulm Nope, nothing.

@SGaist Oh I am using windows 10 pro 22H2 19045.3448 build. You can get the problem through a simple example. import sys from PySide6.QtCore import * from PySide6.QtWidgets import * from PySide6.QtGui import * class mainwindow(QMainWindow): def __init__(self) -> None: super().__init__() layout = QHBoxLayout(self) button = QPushButton("this is a button", self) button.setToolTip("this is a tooltip") button.resize(200, 200) layout.addWidget(button) self.resize(400, 400) self.setStyleSheet("QToolTip { color: red; }") if __name__ == "__main__": app = QApplication(sys.argv) m = mainwindow() m.show() sys.exit(app.exec()) Or can see it by using widget designer of pyside6. In version 6.5.2, you can see that the 'color' of the stylesheet for QToolTip is not working.

@MostTornBrain Well done for figuring a workaround. It would be good if you posted a link to your bug report.

@SGaist First thing I tried was mapToScene(), but that didn't work. What worked, is defining the sceneRect for the scene. Without it, there apparently are no native coordinates and they get set on the fly with each button drop, with the first drop being dead center in the scene. All I had to do is add the following line: self.graphics_scene = CustomGraphicsScene(parent=self) # ADDED THE FOLLOWING LINE: self.graphics_scene.setSceneRect(0, 0, page_size, int(page_size*math.sqrt(2))) self.graphics_view = CustomGraphicsView(self) There's still some polishing like scrollarea showing the scrollbars, basically just not slightly showing the full rect. If I increase the size of the scrollarea, it doesn't solve it. But that stuff is for worries later on. Thanks anyway, you're a great help!

Hi and welcome to devnet, If you want your box to move freely around, you have to take it out of the layout and manually place it where you want it.

@JonB - Thanks. I finally got it working. The key was setting the centalWidget to the top_level_tabs widget. Here's the winning code: ship_trade_btn = QPushButton("Text", self) self.top_level_tabs = QTabWidget() self.top_level_tabs.setTabBarAutoHide = False ship_trade_layout = QHBoxLayout(ship_trade_btn) ship_trade_layout.addWidget(ship_trade_btn) self.setCentralWidget(self.top_level_tabs) self.setLayout(ship_trade_layout) self.top_level_tabs.addTab(ship_trade_btn, "Trades") self.centralWidget().show()

Hi, Use a QTimer to change your image. You can use a list with all your image paths in it and switch on each iteration. Note that you have to take into account the time it takes to load an image.

@SGaist I did. The combo is not spoken for. I'll double check though. I've troubleshot a lot, and can't recall all I've tried to detail in a post here. It still wouldn't explain why I can't get the Ctrl key to print, while other modifiers do. There might not be much people here can do unless I man up and post an MRE. EDIT: Oops! You are right @SGaist . The OS shortcut slipped under the cracks. Alt+F1 is assigned to KWin, and it blocks my app from using it. Damn, wish I would have not missed that earlier—would have saved hours of troubleshooting.

This stack overflow answer shows it nicely. The short version is: bookmarked_url = QUrl("{}".format(self.bookmarkData.Address[i])) action.triggered.connect(lambda url=bookmarked_url: self.parent.go_to_URL(url)) Beware that you are creating objects that can be garbage collected when doing so. I strongly encourage you to refactor your code following my suggestion above.

@JonB my friend, i have no idea myself...

@friedemannkleint Thank you. It works. https://github.com/nyue/QtQuestions/blob/main/PySide2/macos_menu_about/main.py#L12

I tried using list mode instead and it worked! I have no idea why icon mode doesn't. I don't even need to set DragDropMode to InternalMove in list mode for reordering, as I have set my DefaultDropAction to MoveAction. What I've done instead is to change viewOptions to icon mode settings. class SlotView(QListView): def __init__(self, parent=None): super().__init__(parent) self.setMovement(QListView.Movement.Snap) self.setDefaultDropAction(Qt.DropAction.MoveAction) self.setSelectionMode(QListView.SelectionMode.ExtendedSelection) self.setVerticalScrollMode(QListView.ScrollMode.ScrollPerPixel) self.horizontalScrollBar().setEnabled(False) self.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(Qt.ScrollBarPolicy.ScrollBarAlwaysOff) self.setIconSize(ICON_SIZE) self.setGridSize(ICON_SIZE) self.setFixedSize(SLOT_SIZE) def viewOptions(self): option = super().viewOptions() option.showDecorationSelected = True option.decorationPosition = QStyleOptionViewItem.Position.Top option.displayAlignment = Qt.AlignmentFlag.AlignCenter return option

PySide also let's you specify a type: https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-6/PySide6/QtCore/QSettings.html#PySide6.QtCore.PySide6.QtCore.QSettings.value
